For dogs with a history of pancreatitis, the main goal is to feed lean, highly digestible proteins and avoid excessive dietary fat, particularly during flare-ups or recovery periods. From the RogueRaw range, we generally recommend:

🥇 Best Choices

1. Venison

• Naturally one of the leanest red meats available.
• Highly digestible.
• Excellent for dogs with food sensitivities and allergies.
• High-quality amino acid profile without excessive fat loading.

2. Water Buffalo

• Leaner than most beef products.
• Rich in protein while typically lower in fat than conventional livestock.
• Good alternative protein for dogs with intolerances.

3. Green Tripe (in moderation)

• Supports digestive health and beneficial gut bacteria.
• Can help dogs recovering from digestive issues.
• Should not be the primary protein source but works well as part of the diet.

✅ Good Meal Pack Options

For a pancreatitis-prone dog I would typically build meals around:

• Primal Wild Venison
• Primal Wild Protein
• Water Buffalo
• Green Tripe
• Sardines occasionally for omega-3s (small amounts only)

For cats with pancreatitis, the approach is a little different to dogs because cats are obligate carnivores and generally tolerate animal fats better. The focus is usually on:

• Highly digestible proteins
• Maintaining calorie intake (cats must keep eating)
• Reducing inflammation
• Avoiding highly processed foods
• Supporting hydration

Venison

• Lean, highly digestible protein.
• Excellent for sensitive digestive systems.
• Often well tolerated by cats with inflammatory conditions and food sensitivities.

Water Buffalo

• Premium, nutrient-dense protein.
• Highly digestible.
• Provides quality amino acids without excessive fat.

Green Tripe (small amounts)

• Supports gut health and digestion.
• Can help improve appetite.
• Best used as a supplement rather than the entire diet.

Good Supporting Foods

Chicken Hearts

• Rich in taurine, essential for cats.
• Generally well tolerated.
• Valuable for maintaining muscle and heart health.

Sardines (small amounts)

• Excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
• Anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Feed moderately as part of a balanced diet.

Mutton Bird Oil

• Can provide additional anti-inflammatory support.
• Introduce gradually and only if tolerated.
